Chapter 281 Secret Service, Selecting Personnel
The big boss nodded and then looked at the people next to him.
What do you think?
"I believe it's true," another bigwig said. "We all witnessed the commotion when Mr. Shen was undergoing his tribulation."
"That kind of scene is simply beyond the explanation of Taoist magic."
"Moreover, we have all witnessed Mr. Shen's abilities."
"He has no reason to lie to us."
"Hmm." Another powerful figure nodded. "The spiritual energy is recovering... If that's true, it's a momentous event."
"Opportunities and crises coexist."
"If we can seize this opportunity to cultivate our own spiritual power, our national security will be more secure in the future."
"But if those wicked and unorthodox methods get there first, we'll be in big trouble."
"And those foreign forces too," another added. "The Dark Council, the Nine Chrysanthemums Faction—these organizations must have noticed it as well."
"We cannot fall behind."
The experts engaged in a lively discussion, each contributing their own thoughts.
Lin Jianguo stood below, feeling quite excited.
He knew that this matter was done.
……
They discussed it for a while longer.
The big shot in the very center made the decision.
"I think it's settled then."
"I agree with Mr. Shen's plan to establish a Special Operations Bureau, specifically responsible for the training and management of cultivators."
"Personnel will be selected from the elite forces of the 749th Bureau and various military regions."
"The political vetting must be rigorous; there absolutely cannot be any problems."
"Funding and supplies will be given priority."
"This matter is classified as top secret and is known only to a select few present here."
"To the outside world, just say it's a newly established special operations team of Bureau 749."
"Understood!" the bigwigs replied in unison.
"Old Lin." The big boss looked at Lin Jianguo.
"Here!" Lin Jianguo immediately stood at attention.
"You'll be the director of the Secret Service on a concurrent basis," the bigwig said. "You'll still be in charge of liaising with Mr. Shen."
"Remember, you must be respectful and courteous to Mr. Shen."
"It's a favor that they're willing to help us."
"We cannot push our luck."
"Understood!" Lin Jianguo nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, sir! I will definitely maintain a good relationship with Mr. Shen!"
"Okay." The big boss nodded. "Hurry up with the personnel selection."
"Select a batch first and let Mr. Shen take a look."
"The first batch doesn't need to be large, just high-quality ones."
"Yes!" Lin Jianguo replied.
……
After leaving the Central Military Commission, Lin Jianguo felt lightheaded.
Become!
It really did!
Secret Service!
He's actually going to be the director of the Secret Service!
Although it's a concurrent position, this is the first cultivation department in China!
Significant!
Lin Jianguo took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.
Now is not the time to get excited.
I need to hurry back and arrange the selection of personnel.
……
Back at Bureau 749, Lin Jianguo immediately summoned a few trusted confidants for a small meeting.
The meeting had only one agenda item—personnel selection.
"Director, where should we choose from?" Zhao Rui asked.
"Two parts," Lin Jianguo said. "One part will be selected from within our 749 Bureau."
"They must have a foundation in Taoist arts, be young, and have impeccable political background."
"The other part will be selected from the special forces of each military region."
"We need the most elite soldiers, with top-notch physical abilities and strong willpower."
"Age should ideally be between eighteen and twenty-five."
"The political vetting must be strict; even eight generations of ancestors must be thoroughly investigated."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the group replied in unison.
"Zhao Rui, you're in charge of Bureau 749," Lin Jianguo said.
"Yes!" Zhao Rui nodded quickly.
"The rest of you, come with me to coordinate with the military region."
"yes!"
"Hurry up, everyone!" Lin Jianguo said. "Give me the list within three days!"
"The first batch will consist of one hundred people."
"A hundred?" Zhao Rui was taken aback. "Isn't that too many?"
"Not many." Lin Jianguo shook his head. "Choose one hundred first, and let Mr. Shen choose."
"We'll keep as many as we can."
Didn't Mr. Shen say it's one in ten thousand?
It's hard to say how many out of a hundred people can be selected.
"Anyway, if you pick a lot, you're bound to find a few good ones."
"Okay." Zhao Rui nodded.
"Alright, everyone get back to work." Lin Jianguo waved his hand. "The sooner the better!"
"yes!"
The group immediately dispersed to make their own arrangements.
……
Over the next three days, the entire 749 Bureau and special forces from several military regions mobilized.
The selection process is proceeding at a rapid pace.
The situation is relatively easy for Bureau 749.
There weren't many people to begin with; there were only a few dozen young people with a foundation in Taoist arts.
Zhao Rui followed the standards and conducted a rigorous selection process.
He comes from a respectable family, is politically reliable, is young, and has some talent.
After much deliberation, more than twenty people were finally selected.
The situation is much more complicated with the military region.
The special forces of each military region have too many elite units.
There are plenty of elite soldiers out there.
But the standards are also high.
Applicants must meet the age requirement, possess top-notch physical fitness, have strong willpower, and pass a political background check.
It was sieved down layer by layer.
From thousands of elite candidates, more than seventy people were finally selected.
Adding them together, there are exactly one hundred.
……
Three days later, the list was delivered to Lin Jianguo.
Lin Jianguo flipped through it and was very satisfied.
These one hundred people are all elites.
Both their physical fitness and political awareness are top-notch.
Whether they can cultivate is hard to say, but at least their foundation is very good.
Lin Jianguo immediately called Shen Yu.
"Mr. Shen, the selections are complete, a total of one hundred," Lin Jianguo said. "When would be a convenient time for you to come and have them tested?"
"Tomorrow," Shen Yu said. "Find a secluded place."
"Okay!" Lin Jianguo quickly said, "Let's do it at the 749 Bureau's training base. It's very confidential there."
"Okay." Shen Yu nodded. "I'll go tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Mr. Shen! I'll be waiting for you!" Lin Jianguo said excitedly.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianguo immediately went to make arrangements.
Tomorrow will be a historic day.
The first batch of promising cultivators in China is about to emerge!
……
The next morning, Shen Yu arrived at the 749th Bureau's training base on time.
Lin Jianguo had been waiting for a long time, with Zhao Rui standing beside him.
"Mr. Shen, you've arrived!" Lin Jianguo hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded. "Where is he?"
"They're all waiting inside!" Lin Jianguo said. "Mr. Shen, this way please."
Shen Yu followed Lin Jianguo into the training base.
One hundred people stood in neat rows on the training field.
They were all in high spirits and had perfect posture; they were clearly elites.
When Shen Yu entered, everyone looked over curiously.
They were all notified that there was a very important test today.
If you pass, you can join a special department and learn real skills.
But no one knows exactly what his abilities are.
